how can you give them a T when you do not have jurisdiction for that game. The Varsity players are not about to participate in the JV game, therefore you do not have jurisdiction. Same thing if they were to dunk during halftime of the game or during half time of the girls game if they play girls and boys back to back.

You have a point with regard to girls dunking the ball during halftime of the boys' game, BUT,
lets get back to the pregame where everybody in uniform is the same sex. When "player" decided to warm-up with the JV squad, he assumed the risk, that if he did something stupid, the JV team would pay for his stupidity.
It is not the officials' job to poll all of the players on the court to see who is a JV player and who is a VAR player. Once "player" dunks a dead ball during the officials' jurisdiction, the die has been cast and the Rubicon crossed, especially if a coach from the opposing team has also witnessed "player" dunking the dead ball.

No, no, no... some common sense here Mark. He's not on the JV team for crying out loud. Don't go looking for trouble. When you find out he's not on the JV team, just let the JV and/or varsity coach deal with it. If a coach from the opposing team witnesses it, all you have to do is say, "coach, he's not on the JV team. I've sent him packing."
If common sense isn't enough, let's look at some definitions in rule 4-34:
A team member is a member of bench personnel who is in uniform
and is eligible to become a player. He's not eligible to play in the JV game cuz' he's not on the team, it's as simple as that.
He's also not bench personnel. He isn't part of your game. No T is necessary by rule nor common sense.
